US Classification:

455425, 455423, 455419

Abstract:

A system, method, and program for remotely interacting with a diagnostic interface resident on wireless computer devices. The wireless device provides an accessible diagnostic interface that allows reads and/or writes to device resident diagnostic data and tools. Through use of the interaction, wireless device status data and network status data can be gathered and utilized, and if so embodied, the diagnostic tools resident on the wireless devices can be manipulated to alter wireless device operation.

US Classification:

455419, 455420, 4555501, 717173, 717169

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system and method for field updating software in wireless communications devices. The software in the devices is organized into libraries referenced or organized by symbols, and is organized into associated code segments or sections. Software can be changed in the field by downloading, through a wireless connection, individual code sections. The downloaded code sections are incorporated into a code base or in the referenced section of the library, and then executed. Also disclosed is a code section management tool, which includes the ability to properly load the downloaded sections into the executable software.

US Classification:

4552261, 4551151, 4551153, 4552262

Abstract:

Systems, methods, apparatus, processors and computer-readable media include a radiated testing module that executes a predetermined radiated performance test on a wireless device. The test dictates various performance-related parameters to measure and log at each of a plurality of predetermined positions. Further, the wireless device receives synchronization information operable to enable synchronization between the logged measurements and each of the positions. The synchronized log allows the wireless device, or another apparatus, to determine a radiated performance characteristic based on a predetermined analysis protocol. Further, the described embodiments allow for the determination of several radiated performance characteristics in a single test, using a single, unaltered wireless device.

Abstract:

Apparatus, methods, and programs for testing the communications processing ability, and determining product acceptance, of a wireless device. Embodiments include a product acceptance test application disposed on the wireless device and including simulated communications representative of actual communications with a wireless network. A communications processing engine disposed on the wireless device is operable to process the simulated communications, and thereby generates product acceptance data associated with a product acceptance decision.

International Classification:

G06F 13/10

US Classification:

703 21

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a product acceptance test application is transmitted by an apparatus across a wireless network to a wireless communications device. The product acceptance test application is configured to be executed by the wireless communications device so as to simulate network communications corresponding to a network communications test scenario. The wireless communications device simulates the network communications using the product acceptance test application and generates product acceptance data which is sent to the apparatus. The apparatus receives the product acceptance data from the wireless communication device indicative of test result data that is based upon the simulated network communications. The apparatus determines a product acceptance decision based on the product acceptance data.
